The Zanic: Comic Alex Zerbe at The Saber Center for the Performing Arts (Franklin)

– Two-time Guinness World Record holder
– Voted Seattle’s Funniest Prop Comic.
– Appearances on America’s Got Talent and Last Comic Standing
With the energy of 1,000 suns, The Zaniac shines like a comedy beacon as he bounces from one end of the stage to the other like an untamed rubber band. Jaws will drop, and drool will fly as Alex juggles bowling balls, flaming torches and slices vegetables in half with a flying playing card. Every volunteer the Zaniac brings on stage becomes a hero and leaves with a memory that they’ll remember the rest of their life.
Even movie stars like Jamie Lee Curtis freak out in a good way when they see The Zaniac perform. Alex wishes his mom was there when she said, “Boy are you FANTASTIC and TALENTED!”
Still haven’t watched the video? Alex has mad skills, killer dance moves, and the comedy is always 100% clean.
Seriously, watch the video or experience the live show and see why this snazzy dresser and human cartoon was voted Seattle’s Funniest Prop Comedian. Call or email today and see why clients call Alex, “The highlight of our event.”
“I personally guarantee that if you’re not satisfied with the show, I’ll refund %100 of my fee” – Alex Zerbe
